1637 Bernhard Honour Keys Kneeling Receives Reward Saxe Tent Thirty Weimar Years
EDITORS COMMENTS
C1637: A Moment of Triumph - Bernhard, Duke of Saxe-Weimar Receives the Keys to Brisach Amidst the chaos and turmoil of the Thirty Years War, a moment of honor and ceremony unfolded in the small German town of Brisach. In this evocative image from the Mary Evans Picture Library, Duke Bernhard of Saxe-Weimar is depicted kneeling before the town's gates, receiving the keys from the hands of a town representative. The year was 1637, and the Duke had successfully defended Brisach against the invading forces of the Catholic League. The Duke's victory was a significant one, not only for Brisach but for the entire Protestant cause during the Thirty Years War. Surrounded by his soldiers, Bernhard's expression conveys a sense of relief and satisfaction, as well as determination for the battles yet to come. The townspeople, gathered in the background, look on with a mix of awe and gratitude. The scene is set against the backdrop of a makeshift camp, with tents and banners in the foreground, and the town walls and gates in the distance. The historical significance of this moment is palpable, as the Duke's triumphant entry marks the beginning of a new chapter in Brisach's history. This image, captured circa 1637, is a poignant reminder of the courage and resilience of those who lived through the Thirty Years War. It is a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit, even in the face of adversity. The keys to Brisach represent not only the town's physical security but also its symbolic liberation from the threat of foreign invasion. This powerful and evocative image is a must-have for any history buff or art enthusiast.
